Trump: I will reopen Trump University after lawsuit

BobFredericks

A defiant Donald Trump on Thursday vowed to reopen his controversial Trump University once a civil suit over the disbanded for-profit program is finished — a case he again predicted he would win.

“After the litigation is disposed of and the case won, I have instructed my execs to open Trump U(?), so much interest in it! I will be pres.,” he wrote on Twitter.

The meaning of the question mark was unclear.

Trump also tweeted out another insult to federal judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is overseeing the case.

“Even though I have a very biased and unfair judge in the Trump U civil case in San Diego, I have thousands of great reviews & will win case!” the GOP nominee wrote in one of a series of tweets bashing Hillary Clinton, whom he referred to as both “Crooked Hillary” and “Lyin’ Hillary,” and the media.

After the litigation is disposed of and the case won, I have instructed my execs to open Trump U(?), so much interest in it! I will be pres.

Some people who bought into Trump University ended up paying up to nearly $35,000 for what was purported to be private mentoring with supposed real estate experts — some of whom Trump himself later admitted were unqualified.

Disgruntled students filed a federal class action suit that is being heard in San Diego by Curiel.

Meanwhile, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman went on “Good Morning America” Thursday to once again bash Trump over the school.

“This was just a scam,” Schneiderman said, adding that if Trump wins the White House he would still have to testify in the case. “He bilked people out of millions of dollars. We’re going to make sure he pays it back.”

He estimated that Trump “personally pocketed $5 million.”

Schneiderman filed a suit in 2013 charging that the Manhattan mogul took advantage of thousands of average people attracted by his celebrity. A state appellate court ruled in March that the AG’s fraud claims could proceed, a decision Trump’s lawyers contested.
